To the Editorial Board of the C.O.
9/II 1904 [Geneva].

Dear Comrades!

Your order for literature has been transmitted by me to the expedition immediately upon receipt. Tomorrow I shall be at the expedition and shall find out why the order has not been fulfilled thus far. Perhaps the expedition manager does not have the address to which the literature is to be sent. In any case, tomorrow I shall give instructions to ensure that the required materials are delivered to you.

Regarding my agreement to publish a pamphlet about the strike in Krimmitschau in 3,000 copies, comrade Ilya has probably already informed you.

F. Vasiliev.

[P. S. With regard to the sermon about "straightforwardness and honesty," the editorial board, I think, has addressed the wrong party.]

P. S. [Sermons about "straightforwardness and honesty"] It seems to me that the editorial board would do well to refrain from sermons about "straightforwardness and honesty."
